Fabulous place. Communication was excellent. No problems finding the house and easy parking outside. The house was amazing. Much much bigger inside than it looks. Immaculately clean. Great kitchen and appliances and comfy big sofas and plenty of dining space. Happy to recommend a stay here. Nothing but positives from me!

Kristina is a lovely and accommodating hostess and the house is charming, quiet (at least in March) and extremely close to the beach. Nice kitchen.

A wonderful little cottage near the beach but close enough to Portland for any extras

A lovely place and very comfortable for a family! We enjoyed being so close to the beach and all the Portland area attractions.

Great getaway with my sisters! The cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed. So clean and nicely decorated. We walked to the beach to see the sunrise and found our way easily to the Eastern Trail. Thank you for your kindness, Kristina!

Very handy parking at this cute little cottage just down the road from Old Orchard Beach and with wonderful beach access just across the road. There are lots of summer cottages behind and around the home but it did not present a problem at all. The home is roomier than it looks from the outside and nicely decorated. If you have children, the futon beds would work well for them. The bed in the master bedroom was pretty comfy. The half bath and the very nice kitchen are big bonuses!! Kristina stands behind her rental and wants everyone to enjoy their stay. I would recommend this rental on the mere fact that Kristina is a fair and honest hostess!!

Beach house was clean, lots of room and near the beach.

What a perfect getaway! Kristina's place was so nice. There was so much space and very clean. It's a great location right across from the beach. Kristina was very accommodating and stayed in contact whenever I needed her. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet retreat!

We cannot say enough about how GREAT it was staying with Jeanne-Marie and Tim during our first New England vacation. They were such gracious hosts and made us feel like their house was our house during our stay. The accomodations were truly comfy and warm, and the house is close to the beach and downtown Portland. Rooney the cat was an added bonus....friendliest tabby cat in the world!!

Jeanne-Marie and Tim were very well prepared their house, they were not present the first two days, but we met them the third day, they are very friendly and welcoming guest people, really extraordinary. Their house is beautiful and located in a quiet and well maintained area, near the ocean. We have enjoyed the outdoor Jacuzzi, in the winter with snow around it is fantastic. The house lacks nothing. It is a magical place and we have a lot of fun ay back without a doubt!

The best thing I love is their decorations in the house, so adorable

We had a great time staying at Jeanne-Marie and Tim's place. It is a beautiful clean house with a nice and cozy bedroom and everything else you need. They were both really welcoming and we had a nice chat. They even offered breakfast in the morning. All in all a perfect stay!

Very comfortable and exceptionally friendly and nice hosts! They gave us excellent recommendations for places to gang out in Portland too.

Tim was a most welcoming host and provided a relaxing and homey atmosphere. Communication was excellent. The listing and photos accurately depicted what is offered. The house is beautiful, in a great location and easy to find. Our bedroom and bathroom were clean, quiet and spacious. Plenty of towels, great shower. Tim even provided us with coffee and muffins in the morning. We missed meeting Jeanne-Marie, but would recommend this listing to anyone who wants good value lodging in the Portland area.

My wife and I really enjoyed our short stay at Jeanne-Marie and Tim's. Jeanne-Marie was helpful with planning details leading up the trip, and Tim was very friendly and welcoming upon our arrival. Their home is very beautiful. We enjoyed using the hot tub, and their cat Rooney was a lot of fun. The bright sunroom in the back was a nice place to enjoy our morning coffee. Our trip was short and sweet, only one night, but it was enough to highly recommend to others interested! We wish we could have stayed longer.

A perfect night's rest after a long drive. We immediately relaxed in our lovely oversized room, complete with cozy reading corner. We enjoyed our morning cup of coffee on the gorgeous deck amongst the trees. No time for the hot tub but it sure looked inviting!

Ellen and her husband were incredible! They were so kind and accommodating, made coffee and fresh muffins and bread in the morning, set up an outdoor firepit and "glamping" tent, and provided great recommendations for Portland. Their home was adorable, cleanly, and had all the ammenities you could need. The location was fantastic and close to the beach and Old Port. Highly recommend staying here for a wonderful weekend in Portland!

Ellen was very welcoming and accommodating. The house was charming, clean and comfortable. As a lifelong resident, she had many excellent recommendations. The drive to downtown Portland was easy. Overall, a great experience. And her black lab was wonderful.

Our stay at Ellen's was better than expected! The space was very inviting upon arrival and Ellen was an excellent host providing us with everything we could have needed for our stay. I would highly recommend Ellen's to anyone interested in a trip to Maine! Plus their dog is awesome!

Their house was adorable, their dog was adorable, they were adorable. The whole situation was just adorable. I felt like I was staying at a friend's parents house. Ellen even got us bagels and made the most amazing apple butter breakfast dessert (for lack of a better description) i've ever had in my life. We brought our dog and they even watched her for us when we we went out to dinner. WHO DOES THAT?! Only really really kind people. I would highly recommend staying here. *this was not endorsed

A nice place to stay;perfect for our quick get away to the Maine Coast. Dog friendly a plus for us.

We had to lovely nice in Hellen housing. Everything in the house was really adorable, from their dog to the banana bread they offered us, we had a wonderful time! The house is really close of everything you may need: grocery, beach, Portland downtown etc. The convenience gaves us a little bit of privacy where we relaxed. Seriously, Hellen and Garrett were wonderfull hosts

Ellen is a fantastic host. After a long journey travelling across the country, we were very tired and had a few arrival time setbacks. Ellen was more than accommodating and greeted us very warmly despite our arrival time being late at night. This is testament to her flexible approach to people's needs. We were welcomed by a very well appointed space and it was very homely and comfortable. There were delicious cookies on our arrival along with plenty of soft furnishings to relax into in the bedroom. In the sitting area there was a television, DVD player and a number of videos we could watch in comfortable lounge (URL HIDDEN) is a big and usable space with plenty of natural light. All in a tree lined property. The standard of furnishings was very high, much like a home away from home. The house was very clean and Ellen was always available and at hand to answer any questions or give us any advice about the area. And so, we felt exceptionally comfortable spending time and relaxing with her and her adorable dog Luck and her partner Garrett. All in all, if you are an experienced airbnb-er or brand new to using airbnb -- If Ellen's house is on your stop do not hesitate to book your stay with her. Because if your experience is anything like ours you will have a fantastic time no matter how long you stay.

Ellen, Garrett, and Luck have a beautiful home and match the pristine location with charm. Their home is warm, clean, and welcoming... Ellen made sure we were comfortable with our space and provided a fresh breakfast each morning. A quick drive from Portland, I hope to visit again soon and often.

This is a great place for a quiet holiday and near the beach!

We had a great time at the lark's nest, and Tyra and Mitch were excellent hosts; they were very accommodating, and were quick to respond

This is such a beautiful, spacious yet cozy home. Deirdre is such a generous and flexible host. She had such quick communication and made my first stay with Airbnb memorable. It was a short walk to the ocean that was just across street. What a great place. Hope to be back in September. Highly recommended!

Deidre's home was perfect for us! My friends and I were heading back to Maine for a reunion weekend since we all went to school in the area and are now working professionals all across the east coast. I also had a few of my friends from Washington DC join us since they've never been to the state I love so much. The house was quaint, and adorably decorated....very much quintessential Maine! Everything we needed was there, from two huge lobster pots, to a grill, to an ipod dock, to a lovely fireplace in the living room that allowed for us to thoroughly enjoy ourselves despite the crisp, chill evenings you find in October. It is a few houses away from a beach friendly to off-leash dogs, and when you sit on her back porch you can hear the waves! At the same time, you're only about 15-20 min from the lovely Old Port in Portland. We definitely recommend her home to people looking to get a dose of the beauty of Maine!

Deirdre's beach cottage was perfect for a winter getaway. The neighborhood is very quiet and the cottage itself is SO close to the beach. Deirdre was very responsive and gave some great suggestions for other various requests. Can't wait for the next visit!

Fantastic location. Very charming beautiful house.

Deirdre's home is super cozy and comfortable. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Deirdre was quick with communication for anything that you would need in the house or would need to know about the surrounding area. Thank you for everything!

Deirdre's cottage is just perfect. Charming & homey, lots of beds, and an ideal location -- right down the street from a gorgeous private beach, and a quick drive to Portland. We had a group of 6 humans and 2 dogs, and we had the best time. There's wifi, a fully usable kitchen with appliances and dishes, a great stock of board games, and even a washer & dryer. Highly recommend.

Lovely beach home, fabulous location. Lots of space, charming and comfortable, would recommend, especially if you have a dog! A short walk to the beach is ideal, as many of the beaches in Maine are expensive to park near.

We stayed at Deirdre's beach cottage for our mini getaway. Her beach cottage is quaint and cozy with lots of character. It is located in a nice quiet neighborhood and very close to the beach. Short drive to stores and restaurants, so it was perfect for us! Her kitchen is well equipped so we enjoyed cooking dinner too. Her bath tub was really nice after a long day of driving too! She is a great communicator and is open to answer any questions/help you may have. We had a great time at her cottage and will highly recommend! Thank you, Deirdre!

Nice quiet and cozy cottage to spend the weekend by the beach! :)

We really enjoyed staying at Josh's cottage. Very cozy and well-configured space with all the essentials for us and our toddler. The beach was just across the street and we enjoyed the off-season calm of Scarborough. Highly recommend!

Josh was answering very fast and everything in the cottage exceeded our expectations. We only had to cross one street to be on the beach it was amazing ! We stayed four days and we would have stayed longer if we could. We will come back for sure !

Absolutely loved this cottage. So close to the ocean, cozy home with pleasant neighbors. The beach was so private yet close to OOB for nighttime goings ons. Josh was great to deal with and very responsive. Would definitely go back and very grateful for such an amazing air bnb experience.

Josh and Anna were excellent hosts. Before, during and after our trip, communication was nothing short of stellar. Their hospitality was fantastic, and tailored to the needs and interests of our little family of four. The space itself is exactly what we hoped for....a nice little getaway to start our Maine vacation. The proximity to a really beautiful beach was a real highlight for us. Definitely highly recommend.

Joshua was very prompt in returning messages and answered all my questions. This was my first experience with Air BnB and I dont know how it could've gone smoother. Place was exactly as described. Cozy little spot.

Josh's tiny cottage is the cutest place to stay this end of old orchard beach. The space is great and comfortable with an awesome look and feel. Just steps away from the beach. Josh was really accommodating and super easy to reach. The space was exactly as we expected and ready to go. Looking forward to going back!

Quaint little spot perfect for a weekend getaway. This tiny house was just what my friends and I were looking for to go off the grid. Great spot and a short drive to Portland:)

Renee and Roger were awesome hosts! We were welcomed when we arrived and our hosts offered great information about the area. The room was spacious with a private bathroom. We had a delicious lunch at The Bait Shed, a great little restaurant overlooking the marsh. We biked a portion of the Eastern Trail which was less than 5 minutes away. A lovely bonus was watching hummingbirds feed as we were relaxing on the screened in porch. We look forward to staying here again!

What a charming place! Best of both worlds - close to Pine Point Beach but tucked away on a beautifully wooded lot. It was great to have coffee, fruit and muffins in the morning. We walked the beach on a gorgeous day and there is a nice walking trail nearby which had views of the marsh. Chatting with our hosts at the end of the day was delightful. A perfect stay from start to finish!

Sigute is a very nice host, energetic and she makes a visit at the great old house a very special happening. We eat very good steak and special lobsters in the porcha with Sigute and other guests. Evenings to remember.

It is hosts like Sigute that lift Airbnb stays over the experiences that one may have in an hotel. The building is a two hundred year-old farm house with attached barn on over fifty acres. It is full of character and tastefully furnished in an eccentric, slightly worn, and charming fashion. The room we stayed in had a spacious closet and easily accommodated our needs. Easily accessible from downtown Portland--twenty minutes by car--or other places to explore, this is an ideal place to use as a base for venturing out, or simply relaxing. And then there is Sigute herself. Warm, charming, caring, and a great sense of humor to boot. There is always something going on. I can't recommend this place enough. One of the most memorable Airbnb stays we've ever had.

The place was awesome and I like Sigute, She is very welcoming and I felt like I was at home.

Amazing!

Sigute is a wonderful, wonderful host. She is so warm and welcoming! She greeted us with chilled lemon water and wine at the door and invited us onto her front porch to chat and provide recommendations on the area. She knows the area very well and gave us great recommendations. The home itself is in a beautiful setting with a lush green landscape that goes out for acres and acres. The home is very clean and comfortable, furnished in a style that fits it's 200 year old heritage. It's very quiet but not far from the local beaches (we went to Pine Point, which was beautiful, but Old Orchard Beach is very close as well) and an easy drive to Portland and Kennebunkport. We truly enjoyed our stay here. The wifi is easily accessible and though the home does not have A/C, there are fans and windows-- we slept very comfortably with just the cool night air and the fan going.

What a beautiful spot! I loved this old home and only a short drive to Portland. Sigute was warm and welcoming, wine in hand and cold water on a hot day upon our arrival. My girl loved the dog and running around the property. Just a heads up if traveling at this time of year, the mosquitos are awful!! Couldn't be outside without being attacked. The screened in porch was lovely and kept the mosquitos at bay. Wish we stayed longer!

Sigute greeted me with a warm smile and hug and I immediately felt welcomed at her lovely home. The accommodations were comfortable and charming, and you couldn't ask for a better host than Sigute. I would recommend her place to anyone that wants a stay in Maine with a European vibe.

The house was very nice, for a 200-year-old house. Host was very welcoming and accommodating, the house was clean and orderly, and the private road was very convenient to Portland and other local features. WiFi worked great. For a total cost that was about half what a motel would have cost, it was worth the money. Good place to stay near Portland on a budget.

Our paths never crossed with Julie but we felt her kind presence in the lovely flowers she left to yogurts in the fridge to the offer of a place to park at Higgins Beach in busy Cape Elizabeth. We were very comfortable and it was nice to be so close to Portland but be in a quiet neighborhood. We were delighted to discover that her house is really close to the freeway exit/entrance. And Portland, even in the height of the summer, turned out to be a pretty easy city in which to find parking so we just loved the short commute from her location to downtown Portland, which is all we had time to explore. Lived up to expectations.

We had a great stay here with Julie!

Julie was a great host, and our stay was fantastic. I would have loved to have stayed even longer! The apartment is very nice, complete with a TV + Roku, a kitchen, fridge, and stove, and wood-burning stove for heat. It was an excellent stay that surpassed our expectations.

We loved this space! Only 12-15 minutes to downtown Portland, but a quiet, lovely place to recover from a day in the city. Spacious, beautifully decorated, and with appliances and amenities to make it a very comfortable stay. Close to a grocery store and lots of restaurants, and again we could not believe how close it actually was to downtown Portland! Julie was great to communicate with and helped make our stay very comfortable and convenient. We would definitely recommend!

The apartment was comfortable and clean. It was very average compared to other B&Bs we have stayed at in the past. Did not get to meet Julie.

Place was exactly as described. Quiet neighborhood, very cute room, perfect. Our only regret is that we didn't get to stay any more than the one quick overnight!

I didn't get to meet Julie in person, but she responded very quickly to my inquiry about the room and any follow up questions I had and was very helpful. As a previous reviewer noted, you get so much more than just a room, this is basically a little apartment with everything you need. It was clean, towels and toiletries were provided, the Internet worked well, there is a big TV on which you can watch Netflix and multiple other options... Overall it's very comfortable! We arrived at night and left very early, so didn't get to see much of the neighborhood, but it was very quiet and seemed quite pretty, surrounded by lots of green. Another big plus is its close location to the airport - it took us about 15 minutes to drive there (early in the morning)! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the Portland area.

What a ridiculously cute apartment space! We positively loved it. Very convenient to the city, and the price was excellent for what the space offered.

If you want to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while staying in a new and comfortable airbnb, there you are! Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Just minutes from the beach and Portland. It's perfect! And that's not counting the hospitality of the hosts. Both friendly, helpful and discreet!

Sarah's place is the best Airbnb my friends and I have stayed at! It is a lovely, clean, and spacious house with creative decor. Six of us stayed and there was plenty of space (bedroom + big living room). It's only a 12-15 min drive to downtown Portland and 5 min ride to a grocery store. The dogs are really friendly and adorable! Would definitely try to come back :)
